Unit Goal 2: The learner will be able to have students create an Edmodo account and link it to their instructor account using the groups feature of the program.

Overview:
Students in the training will begin as students in our class so they can learn both sides of the Edmodo program. After arriving to training students, will be asked to create a student account that is linked to the Stepping Stone Designs Edmodo account. They will be asked to accomplish various tasks once their account is created to familiarize them with the students point of view.


You will:
  • learn to create a student account









Unit Goal 4: The learner will be able to post messages in Edmodo to communicate with students.

Overview:

You give your class the good news that you will be using Edmodo in your classroom. You write the Group Code on the board and instruct students to use the classroom laptops to go create an account and post an introductory message on the class wall to get started. Moments later, you log in to your Edmodo classroom to explain the first Edmodo assignment and you realize that your students have plastered graffiti all over your classroom wall, and you can’t tell who the culprits are because your students chose user names like Bubbles123 and TheWebkinzRule42.


In this module, you will learn how to prevent this problem by introducing your students to Edmodo one step at a time.


You will…

  • Access your group codes.
  • Define your Edmodo expectations.
  • Create your guidelines for your students to create their own student accounts.
  • Educate your students on your Edmodo expectations by creating the first assignment in Edmodo.
